But remember Mo you are one of life's lucky ones. Despite your background you obviously had the wherewithal to achieve a degree and I dare say you were not plagued by the blight of mental illness.

Many many more people do not have the capacity to be awarded high paying jobs and their humble abilities make them suitable for low paid, gruelling, soulless jobs little better than serfdom. Many others have had their lives wrecked by mental illness and personal misfortune. You were obviously lucky you were in control of your destiny.
